Dykes primed for big 2004
Adam Dykes is coming into the 2004 NRL season like a "starry-eyed rookie" according to an article today in The Australian.
Admitting his first two seasons with the Eels had been a "horror story", Dykes said that this season was going to be about "fun and enjoyment".
"I've really enjoyed the pre-season. I've done every session and I feel better for it. I played in the sevens, which was tiring but great fun," he told The Australian.
Brian Smith was quoted as saying: ""I can't fault Adam's attitude during the pre-season. He has been one of our best and hasn't missed a session.
"He had a lot of problems over the past two seasons but has fought back tremendously.
"He will be important for us because he knows the ropes and can get the best out of the rest of the players on the field."
